Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 505 Listening to Weifu's private interview, discussing new dramas going to the countryside

On December 21, Zheng Sen went to work at the Forbidden City Secretariat as usual, but returned home soon after.

"Why did the master come back so soon?" Zheng Sen's wife Dong You asked in confusion, "Could it be that something was left at home?"

Zheng Sen looked strange, first took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, pointed and said: "Today, His Majesty has ordered me to carry the walkie-talkie and make a private visit in the city to understand the impact of the land tax reform turmoil some time ago."

Dong You came from a scholarly family in Jinjiang, Fujian. His father, Dong Changxian, was a ten-year Jinshi in Chongzhen. He is now serving as the deputy envoy of the Procuratorate in Guangdong, and guards Dao in Lianzhou and Leizhou.

Dong You is one year older than Zheng Sen. Chongzhen married into Zheng's family in 15 years, and has given birth to a son named Zheng Jing.He is intelligent, virtuous, and knowledgeable.

Later Zheng Chenggong died of illness before he could resist the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Jing soon became an adult and was unable to control the situation. Dong You, as the mother of the Zheng family, led the people to Taiwan to continue to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Later, Zheng Jing died of illness, and Zheng's group suffered internal strife. Feng Xifan and Liu Guoxuan killed Zheng Kezang, the eldest son of Zheng Jing, and made Zheng Kezang, who was only 13 years old, king.

Although today's Dong You is not the mistress of the Zheng family in later generations, she is quite temperamental.

Although she had never seen a walkie-talkie before, she had heard from Zheng Sen that she knew the function of this magic weapon.

Goodbye, there was a small light flashing on it, and Zheng Sen had a serious face, pointing one finger upwards, and immediately realized that the walkie-talkie might be on.In other words, the conversation between her and Zheng Sen should be heard by His Majesty today.

This made her nervous, not knowing what to do for a while.

Zheng Sen said: "Bring me a set of regular clothes, I'll put them on and go out."

"Oh." Dong You came to his senses and hurriedly handled the matter himself.

Forbidden City, in the Hall of Martial Heroes.

Aimee Zhu couldn't help smiling when she heard Zheng Sen's conversation and movement.

She was not afraid of being heard by Zheng Sen, because the set of walkie-talkies she and Zheng Sen were using was quite special, not only had a strong sound collection function, but also had a one-sided listening option.

At this time, she listened to Zheng Sen's voice unilaterally, and the intercom could only be carried out after pressing a certain button.

As for why Zheng Sen kept the walkie-talkie on from leaving the palace to home, it was naturally to avoid suspicion - he was telling Aimee Zhu that he did not make arrangements for the private visit of Weifu to ensure the authenticity of the information he found.

Hao Guangming said on the other side: "If you are not a woman, it is not as convenient as a man to find out the people's sentiments, and there are certain dangers. It must be more interesting to go to Weifu for private visits."

Auntie Zhu smiled and said, "Why don't I want to go out of the palace for a walk? It's just that if I move, there will be a large number of imperial guards following. Even if I forcefully go to Weifu for a private visit, it will be very troublesome. It's better to let Zheng Sen go for me."

Hao Guangming felt that what Aimee Zhu said made sense—in fact, he did not approve of Aimee Zhu going to Weifu for a private visit. Although Aimee Zhu could come to him in case of danger, he was afraid that someone would make arrangements in advance for this point.

For example, poisoning Auntie Zhu, or putting her in an instant crisis, and it is difficult to escape if she is caught.

In the past, she had to take risks, and at that time, not many people knew her secret.

The situation is different now, and there is no need to take risks.

Listening to the voice from the walkie-talkie, the two realized that Zheng Sen had walked a distance after leaving home and came to a teahouse.

The loudest voices inside are the storyteller talking about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", as well as the yelling of guests and waiters.

Probably Zheng Sen chose the seat on purpose, and after he sat down, the discussion of the two scholars inside attracted Aimee Zhu's attention.

Scholar A said: "Did you read the ten-week issue of Da Ming Pao yesterday? I never expected that the crimes committed by several Qingzhang commissioners who caused a commotion a while ago turned out to be a conspiracy devised by those nobles."

"At first, I felt that those things were abnormal." Scholar B said, "The land tax reform has just begun, and it is at the feet of the emperor. Even if there are thousands of Qingzhang commissioners, there will not be so many corrupt and powerful people in the beginning. Commissioner, let alone being caught and exposed.

Speaking of which, those nobles are also stupid, thinking that His Majesty can tolerate such provocative behavior.ridiculous. "

"Isn't it?" Scholar A also laughed, and changed his words again: "I heard that Wei Guogong and several old masters were involved this time, and I don't know how the Holy One will punish him."

"Even if you don't kill your head or go into exile, you'll still pay off the nobles. Those veteran nobles are rich."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Sigh, why does the "Daming Daily" only publish one issue every ten days? After reading it, there is nothing to pass the time. We can't afford to go to the Qinhuai River again. "

Scholar B said: "Da Ming Pao once a ten-day period is indeed a bit rare. Also, it was said earlier that it would publish a special issue on the content of the science examination in the township examination, but there has been no movement until now, and I don't know what the newspaper office is doing."

"Women do things like grinding."

"Hush, brother Mingzhe, be careful with your words."

"I'm talking about the newspaper Liu Tiju..."

Hao Guangming also listened to the voice on the walkie-talkie through Auntie Zhu's mobile phone. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that the scholars of Ming Dynasty are urging to update "Da Ming Pao."

"Maybe it's time for Daming News to publish a daily magazine?" Aimee Zhu asked.

"You don't need a daily magazine, but you can consider the half-weekly periodical every five days. Also, you handed over the special issue to Fang Yizhi and others, and now it's been nearly a month, so it's time to remind you Bar?"

"Ah."

On the other side, Zheng Sen drank tea in a teahouse for a while, then went to another teahouse, constantly changing venues, allowing Auntie Zhu to hear some discussions.

Among them, although the scholars in Nanjing had some discussions about the land tax reform turmoil in the past few days, they did not take it as the most concerned thing. The most discussed content has been the imperial examinations such as next year's general examination, rural examination, and the special issue of the Ming Daily.

What businessmen talk about the most is the import and export prices of goods in a certain place, as well as tax rates; or the support or suppression of a certain industry by the government of a certain place.

On the contrary, ordinary people in the city have more discussions on land tax reform.

Perhaps it was because the landlords were already jittery at this time and did not dare to speak out against the reform of the land tax. Zheng Sen made a private visit for a whole day, and most of what he heard was the approval of the people for the reform of the land tax.

But this approval does not mean how much she understands and approves of the policy, but mainly because she trusts the empress Zhu Yuyu, and applauds the redress of unjust cases and the punishment of treacherous evil.

After listening to it, Auntie Zhu felt that most of the common people in Ming Dynasty were still very ignorant, and even among the scholars, there were quite a few who had true knowledge.

night.

Aunt Zhu chatted with Hao Guangming about this matter.

"You said, how can the common people understand the imperial court's policies and their benefits as soon as possible?"

"I mentioned the related method to you, have you forgotten?" Hao Guangming said with a smile, "The most effective way is to organize related new plays, that is, what we call model plays here, and then let the troupe go to the countryside .

You let the account clearing commissioners preach, no matter how good the clearing commissioners do, the effect is definitely not as good as letting the common people watch the show.

Because Commissioner Qingzhang's preaching was similar to preaching, the common people were ignorant but also suspicious, especially the rural people did not trust the image of the imperial court as before.

It's different to let them go to the theater - a theater is entertainment, and they are willing to go to it.Second, they are more receptive to what they 'understand' and understand from the new play. "

After listening, Auntie Zhu nodded first, then felt a little ashamed.

Hao Guangming did talk about this matter several times before, but she was too busy to focus on it.

Now it seems that if the new policy is to be implemented better, the propaganda aspect must follow suit...
